Great base for a truck - huge chassis, brakes, and suspension components, Dana 70 with dual wheels, and a nice long wheelbase. Does yours have the walk through cab?
Yes it has the walk trough cab. If I would ever build a stake bed out if one Id put a "Coffin Box" on the back of the cab to cover the hole. Oh and lets not forget the cool factor.

How's the cruise control work in these old trucks?
They use a magnetic pickup on the driveshaft for a speed reference and a vacuum can to pull the throttle as needed. I have a stand alone setup off a 80's Ranger that I want to hook up on mine.
I am glad you knew because I really wasn't sure. :thup:

It has a C4 Trans. I do have future plans for the drive train..... I have a line on a junk 4x4 dually. My plan is to buy it and swap the C-6, transfer case, and front rear over making it a 4x4 motorhome. 8)
That would be a sweet truck when you do the swap and great for game hunting.

Exactly. I want something capable of taking us off the beaten path and getting back. Wife and kids think Im a lil nuts but one day they will get it. This year we took a 5,000 mile plus road trip out west with our Suburban. There were a lot of places a 2wd would have had problems. That's part of my motivation to do the 4x4 conversion.

That sux you missed out on one..Oddly enough my wife really pushed me to buy this. She never liked my 68 or 72 bumps but for some reason she fell in love with this. I never asked why just rolled with it.

Smart move. Or a new cab. From experience, it's a lot of work to close off the gap, usually made worse by years of twisting. To be honest, it looks good enough to leave as is. Great looking motor home.
Be warned though - take it to a campground and you'll have people coming by to ask questions about it all day long. These things don't lend themselves well to peaceful trips :o

That's the set up I have on mine. The control unit is zip-tied to the turn signal stalk. Works great, although a bad brake light switch a few years ago made life exciting on a freeway off ramp when the cruise control didn't cancel. Hurtling toward a red light at a three way intersection with a car dealership on the other side was a hell of a start to the day.
A 4x4 motorhome? That would be beyond awesome - I had toyed with the idea myself after seeing a 4x4 F250 in the wrecking yard a few years ago, but the worsening condition of the camper box nixed that one.

Not exactly an easy swap on to a 2wd frame but I feel it would be worth it. :fr: Really hoping to get the 4x4 dually, set them side by side and see what I need to do.

Looking at your other thread, you clearly have the skills. The bigger frame on an F350 would make it a little more involved but certainly not impossible, so I say go for it :thup: :wink:
